Frankfurt / M.

(AP) - Hygiene expert Florian Kainzinger believes that the European Football Championship games in Munich are possible with a limited number of visitors.

«We will not find a start from zero to one hundred.

Provided that we do not have any impending overloading of our hospitals at this point in time, it would be a sensible approach for the EM spectators to limit themselves to a local audience first and not to trigger global tourism.

Similar to what Tokyo wants to do at the Olympic Games, "said the health economist on Thursday of the German press agency.

The 38-year-old is a member of the "Task Force Sports Medicine / Special Games in Professional Football" of the German Football League, was in charge of the hygiene concept for the basketball league and coordinates an initiative of the major German sports associations and cultural organizers to encourage the return of spectators.

“A month and a half ago we presented complex concepts of how to do this in football.

I think a blanket no is the wrong way to go, »said Kainzinger.

“Among other things, it is about the question: Can vaccinated people come in without tests - which I very much support.

In addition, we will have vaccinated another 20 to 30 percent of the population by the summer. "

Recently there had been discussions about whether the European Football Union (UEFA) would insist on European Championship games with spectators in the twelve venues.

Due to the infection situation in Germany, no sporting events with spectators are currently allowed.

As the venue, Munich had announced that it would continue to plan with different scenarios as far as possible spectators in the stadium were concerned.
